How The Internet Can Change The Way The World Does Business

1. A social network not based on communication
between members, instead robot curated to send members to each other to
help them do specific things, and collecting lists of ranked resources
in the process. Tentative name: "What Do You Want To Do?"

2. A crowd funding community that works on the basis
of "premiums" as current sites (kickstarter etc.) do but also functions
as a gift community. Members who have participated in funding in the
past are the object of voluntary "gifts" from successful businesses, not
necessarily from the particular business funded. Tentative name: Crowd
Salon.

3. A site which would allow people auctioning their
possessions to sell shares of their ownership in their individual item.
Shares price is set by seller's estimated auction sale price, and the
value of shares adjusted at the end of the auction by the actual sale
price of the item. Provides item seller insurance the price wanted will
be received, and allows share buyers to put to use their knowledge of
item values (hedge on one side, investment on the other). Tentative
name: Bayshare.

4. A site which allows people to post promises to
perform a service, and then transfer ownership of that promise to
members of the community. In other words, a promise trading community,
not a community for people to actually perform services. Tentative name:
Promise Bank.

5. Securing Crowdfunding Investments in
Independent movies by assigning investors the right to sell tickets (up
to the amount of their investment) to home cinema previews of the film
at their homes. Tentative name: Home Cinema Funding.
